Unfortunately, if you live in New Orleans and want to go to the Grand Canyon, Texas is pretty much the only thing between where you are and where you want to be. But I've never gone back, after that one time.
Given my druthers I'd definitely detour. But on that trip we had enough time and money to drive straight from New Orleans to the Canyon, spend half a day there, and then drive straight back. As it happened, our car broke down in Albuquerque, we ended up coming back late and over budget, and I never did get to see the Canyon. I did get to see Carlsbad Cavern on the way back, though, so that was a nice consolation prize.
